Miniature Silky Fainting Goats

To learn more about this new and elegant breed of long haired goats, please click on the link above to read about the standard and history of the Miniature Silky Fainting Goat.

I keep a small herd of Mini Silky goats. Located in Upper Maryland. My goats are sold as pets and show or breeding prospects. This is not a meat goat or a dairy goat.... they are beautiful long haired pets with awesome personalities. Mini silkys are easy keepers, and not the destructive escape artists other breeds are.

My goats do faint (Myotonic) but I do my best to make sure they are not stressed enough to faint. Myotonia congenita is a genetic condition that causes the muscles to contract... imobilizing the goat. Young goats sometimes fall down "faint". The goat is fully concious, but temporarilly unable to move for a few seconds. For more information on Myotonic goats. please visit Myotonic Goat Registry
